FARM HOME AND GARDEN
ALONE

miss you, my darling, my darling,
Eaf-sThe embers burn low on the hearth;
And still is the stir OF the household,
And hushed is the voice OF its mirth,
The rain FLASHES fast on the terrace.
The wind past the Lattices moan;
TIE midnight chimes out from the minister
And am alone
want you, my ling, my darling;
lam tired with care and with fret;
would nestle in silence beside you
And all but your presence forget,
In the rush ofthe happiness given,
To those who throught.crusting have
grown
To the fuliness of 10y 2 in contentment,
But am alone.
call you my darling, my darling,
Ny dice echoes back to my heart:
stretch my arms TO on in longing.
And 10 they fall empty apart
Whisper the sweet words you taught me,
The words that we only have known,
TIL the blank OF the dumb air is bitter
For I am alone.
| need yCu, my darling, nv darling;
With its yearning my very heart aches;
The load that divides US weighs harder,
shrink from the jar that il makes.
Old SORROWS rise up TO beset me;
Old doubts make my spirit their own.
Oh, come through the darkness and
save me,
Fer am alone.

His Mind Was on Business.

MY friend" said the revivalist, as he
approached a travelling man who was
Standing in the aisle, Il hope we will see
you with Us frequently hereafter"
That's hardly possible" was the po-
l-tely spoken reply. you see, I'm a trvel-
ing man."
"A travelling man." repeated the ex-
horter, who was an old-timer and knew
his business. Let me beg of you, do not
let your business interests overshadow
your solicitude for the safety of your eter-
nal being. Remember the terrible story
of Ananias."
.'Ananias? Who was he:''
He was man whose soul was SCARED
with untruths; who"
Hes dead now, amt he:"
Certainly"
Il thought so. If he wasn't the firm
would have had him on the force long
ago."

An effort was made few days since by
the superintendent of Rock Greek GENE
terry to have the guard Withdrawn from the
Logan tomb, because he was challenged
by the guard one night. This caused
Mrs. Logan much distress, as 1t had been
clearly understood that the guard should
remain till the remains were transferred
TO Chicago She informed the directors
that If this was done she would havethe re-
mains removed TO her own house. This
announcement brought the desired result,
and the guard Is to remain as long as
desired.

Chicago Mail.
He is veteran druggist and his store
Is on West Madison street. His custom
ers mainly come from Monroe and
Adams streets on the south and Warren
avenue and Washington boulevard on the
north. He talked plainly with the Mail
reForter-told some secrets in fact, with
the understanding that his name should
not be printed-and this is what he said:
The most expensive prescription I
ever put up was in 1876. The drug called
for was musk. 1t was administered 70
man In the last stages of illness, with the
hope that possibly it might rally him, but
1t didn't. The single prescription cost
S13. Musk now is worth so cents grain.
Do l sell much now? No. Morphine and
cocaine have largely taken the place of
it."
What Is the most expensive drug you
buy now?"
Hydro bromate of hyoscin, "a nerve soda
tive. 1t costs 81 grain wholesale. Co
cain was extremely expensive about three
years ago when it first came out. l paid
$3.50 grain for it. 1t has cheapened
wonderfully since and now costs but five
cents grain. 1t was new discovery
and was manufactured by but one party.
Now there are several manufacturers.

Youths COMPANION,

People are sometimes anxious to state
things very delicately. An old colored
man named Sam had been absent from
his native town for several weeks, and on
his return fastened to pay his respects to
a colOred member of the State Leyis-
lature.
II congratulate you Brudder Jones, on

"Why, Brudder Jones, l was informed

To be seriously diselect2d" is the fate
of a good many candidates.

A Rare Arizona Bird
Troy Time

The Devil hawk" of Arizona is a rare
bird, and an interesting one. He is dis
cribed as having remarkably handsome
plumage, but very ugly head. His talon
are long and strong, and his beak is al
most as sharp as a needle and very power
full. This bird, but for his head, when on
the wing would pass for pigeon. When
seeking his prey he plays pigeon, and flies
in among the birds unnoticed on account
of his similarity, and easily captures what
he wants. He is the picture OF grace and
beauty and speed. 1t is estimated that
there are not more than dozen of these
hawks in the Territory. The Mexicans
are superstitious about them, and regard
the appearance of one as an evil omen.

4 dispatch to the New York World
from Athens, Ga, says: When George /.
Seney was scattering his money around
Georgia, no gave the Wesleyan Female
college 100000. This aroused the other
colleges to a desire to share in his munif-
iceace. One of the favored applicants
was Lucy Cobb institute, of Athens, so
named in honor of its founder the sister
of the late Howell Cobb. The sum Sc
cured was $4,000. This college has for
pupils young ladies of the first families
in Georgia, and graduation therefrom is
family boast. Whenever Mr.. Seney
visits Athens the young ladies insist upon
him being their guest, and the fairest
compliments are showered upon him.
The CONSERVATION of the young ladies
may be judged when few days ago an
artist reached this city with a commission
not to paint their portraits, but to
paint the picture of Dots" the colored
cook, who has been in the institution for
years. Dots at once felt her importance,
and neglected meals in order to give the
artist sittings. The indignation of the
young ladies at this preference for LACK
instead of white was quiet but deep. The
strange part of it is that the artist packed
up his picture and left for New York with
it without even letting the subject her
self see it. There is much speculation as
to the characrer and object of the picture,
but one thing is certain, if Mr.. Seney
should visit the institute during the pre-
sent state of feeling he would have to de-
pend upon the cook for attention.
AMemento of Macmillan.
Mexico Two Republics.
A member of the American colony is
in possession of three historical curiosi-
ties which will undoubtedly be eagerly
sought after by all who take an interest
in the collection of articles of this kind.
The curiosities are the certificate of
Maximilian's birth, the marriage certi-
ficate of Macmillan and Carlotta, and
the order of the Golden Fleece, which the
possessor claims he can prove also be
longed to the unfortunate emperor. The
birth certificate is written on parchment
yellow 18th age. It is couched in German,
and certifes that MAMMALIAN was born in
Vienna in the year 1882, son to the
archduke Francis Charles. The marriage
certificate is dated at Brunswick in the
year 1857. 1t is written in Frezch, on
sheep-skin, and bears the seals of the
Belgian and Austrian court. The order
of the Golden Fleece is composed of a
gold crown, with golded sheep pendant
by three gold chains, and ring which is
fastened into a belt studded with dia-
monds, which passes around the sleeps
belly. Altogether the three relics make
very interesting collection, associated as
they are with oEe of the most important
epochs in the history of Mexico.
